Week 18 Update

Well, 18 weeks into the diet and I'm down another 4.6 lbs! I can't believe my weight loss didn't slow down this week, at least a little bit. I had prepared myself for it. But, I won't complain! I've now lost a total of 72 lbs! Only 3 lbs more before I hit my 75 lbs weight loss goal! And a new picture, too! Jordan's maintaining and I'm very proud of him. He's lost 62 lbs total and his body seems to want to stay right where he's at and it's a good, healthy weight for him. Each week I'm getting closer and closer to my ultimate goal and I can't tell you how excited and proud I am. This diet is simple in concept, but at times can be hard. When others are BBQing and eating fresh fruits and potato salads, I'm cooking up a lean steak or chicken and joining in. I beleive the success in this diet comes from being prepared. If you bring your own food to functions and get togethers, then there is no limit to how far you can go. All in all, YAY ME!!
